• March 33rd - Classic's Final Spar/PK Ranks for March

Aside from the server ranks, there are a few things to be looking forward to. The anticipated full-mainland expansion is expected soon. That waterfall I tiled took forever to tile. Quests have been progressing slowly, but not due to my scripting (I've been struck down with illness lately).

There has been tight competition in PK Ranks, not so much for Sparring Ranks. It seems that Krypto92 spars more than most people PK. The equations have been modified to use a quotient of different rank points rather than different ranks. Reason: someone who logs on for the first time and kills the top ranked person could really upset the point balance. This might make April's rank points a bit lower than March's. PK Ranks wouldn't have been affected by this, but the lower ten Spar Ranks may have.

In addition, I just reintegrated the movement system a bit. It should behave a little bit more effectively now, particularly the parts when the player's standing, or at supposed to be standing still. If you notice any new bugs, please contact a member of the administration.

• March 1st - Graal Classic: Final Ranks for February

newCappa finished first in PK. Bloodwork finished first in Spar.

I decided that I would not release all ranks and rank points for February since the system has only been up for a week, and also because the equation for PK points has now been simplified. Still, I wouldn't want the highest ranked to go unrecognized.

Now I must write a program that will rewrite the ranks in HTML for me. Meanwhile, I hope you all enjoy fighting your way to the top on Classic. jake13jake

• March 1st - Graal Kingdoms: Spells fixed

A few flaws in the spell system have been fixed so that the spells are not overpowered anymore, but still take a good amount of hitpoints. Also the forked lightning is actually forking now, making it possible to hit a wider area.
